137 MPs, from #UKLabour, #LiberalDemocrat, #Greens, #PlaidCymru, #SNP and #SDLP, have signed a motion calling for the #EHRC guidance on #Trans people using single sex spaces to be overruled.
If your MP is on this list, write and thank them; if yours isn't, urge them to sign.
@simon_brooke Reply from Chris Kane MP:
"I appreciate that many people, and trans people in particular, are feeling anxious about recent developments. I take those concerns seriously.
"This debate has become increasingly polarised. Too often, it is presented as having clear winners and losers. I do not accept that. These are complex issues, and framing them in that way does not help people live together or find workable solutions."
(1/2)
@simon_brooke "However, the legal position is now settled. The Supreme Court has clarified how the law should be interpreted, and that ruling must be implemented. The role of the EHRC guidance is to provide clear, practical direction on how that legal position is applied by organisations. In that context, I believe the guidance provides a lawful and workable framework."

@GlasWolf @simon_brooke
and if the EHRC rules cis men cannot access public toilets or the toilets at his place of work, Chris Kane will think that a lawful workable framework too
or will his mind change when it directly affects him?
of course cis men actually assault women and girls at the proportion cis people act like trans people do, so
@GlasWolf @simon_brooke
you know what was polarized?
a woman's right to vote
civil rights
all these freedoms we take for granted
politics is polarizing when there's a civil right and a civil wrong, and a whole lot of people have their ass in the group that needs to be shown humanity
